Cathulhu Pattern

I decided to be punny the other day and make a Cathulhu, which is a cat and Cthulhu hybrid. Ooh, yes. I did just do that. Here's the pattern. :)



Materials:
-Worsted Weight Yarn. I used Lily Sugar N' Cream Solids in Country Green. (Note: for my amigurumi, I always try to use cotton).
-g hook (or smaller if you prefer a tighter guage)
-safety eyes
-polyfil stuffing
-polyfil beads (I used black eyed peas, which also work!)

Abbreviations:
sc- single crochet
inc – increase (2 sc in same stitch)
invdec – invisible decrease
ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
# in parentheses is # of stitches you should have at the end of the round
Repeat from ** five times

Pattern:

1. sl st, ch 2, then 5sc in 2nd ch from hook (5)
2. inc around (10)
3. *1sc in next st, then inc* (15)
4. *2sc in next 2 st, then inc* (20)

I'd love to see some finished products!

Feel free to sell the finished project, but don't sell the pattern. People will tell on you and I will be sad, and a sad crocheter is the saddest thing in the world. :c
